5/5 from 631 reviews

Uke Swing "With their swing they brought joy to everyone. With their elegance and delicacy they added magic to our May evening. A passionate and special group. A group of singing hearts and playing hearts. In short, I recommend them with all my heart. Donia" Translated from Italian Based in Genoa, Liguria (49 miles from Alba) Donia - Wedding party

Jazz Bands Monaco—Jazz Central Agency "An exceptional musical experience from beginning to end. The musicians blended seamlessly into our event while delivering an outstanding performance that impressed every single guest. Highly recommended for anyone looking to create a luxurious atmosphere." Based in Monaco-Ville, Monaco (73 miles from Alba) 3rd July 2026 Sebastian Dubois - Private Villa Party

Sunny Side Trio "Fantastic! A trio full of energy, smiling, communicative" Translated from Italian Based in Milan, Lombardy (77 miles from Alba) 22nd May 2026 Chiara - Event

Ferdi Argenti "What Ferdie can do that nobody else does (to the extent that he does it) is sing his heart out, and then play his heart out-- his vocal and instrumental expressions are equally strong. It's not like he's trying to get a gig at the local Holiday Inn lounge, no!--he belongs in the concert hall! Larry Coryell (from the liner notes to "Look for the silver lining" album by Ferdinando Argenti" Based in Fucecchio, Tuscany (152 miles from Alba) Larry Coryell - Internationally known jazz guitarist

Amar Corda "Absolutely great band and nice people! They played for the aperitivo of our wedding party. All our guests where talking about them! Will book them again when I have an opportunity." Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna (163 miles from Alba) Jan Steender - Wedding Party

Chill and Chic by Nalìs "Annalisa, Michele and Roberto were our trio for one of the most magical nights we could've hoped for. They are incredibly talented, and it was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Italy. WOW!! Thank you for making our night feel like a dream. They were fun, professional, kind and the pure JOY was very evident as they each shared their God-given gifts. <3 Thank you for a moment we'll never forget." Based in Florence, Tuscany (171 miles from Alba) Jill Colclasure
